cause withdrawal symptoms more serious than the condition it was meant to treat instead of the beneficial effects of these different medicines early up to something wonderful very often or for fix it up to something terrible can bill solve all ills we're trying to medicate life itself i just think i was in like i was just scared i was a scared little girl i was 24 and like. i didn't have to be so complicated. i made a record 3000000 world pandemic deaths finds a u.-turn sound further hikes already there priciest the e.u. job. meanwhile summary no plans to return to normality aiming to inoculate all citizens by next month with russia's cosy job. the reopening is give us a breath of fresh air and get us moving towards a sense of normality sputnik v.

has proved to be a winning choice is every day that passes in recent weeks the number of interactions is decreasing. russia expels 20 czech diplomat said they were tally atory movies off the prague blamed moscow for a huge ammunition blast 7 years ago and strew aus 18 russian representatives. khans raul castro announces his step down as a kid with a leader the same day a cia assassination attempt is revealed. as a very warm welcome to you from our team here in moscow you're watching r.t. international with me nicky aaron. now world covert deaths past 3000000 at the weekend with a particularly just disturbing 20 fold new infections since last month in india

meanwhile in europe daily new cases have stabilized after 3rd wave of infections u.s. pharmaceutical giant pfizer has hiked prices on future alders obvious facts potentially sending the cost more than 60 percent higher to some $23.00 a dose it turns as brussels seeks a new short supply contract with the firm from next year r.t. saskia taylor has the details. you wouldn't think that big pharma and ethics go hand in hand but you clearly haven't met by is that if we were to implement free open market principles in pricing the products we could go to huge prices and so everything we can manufacture but it would be unethical i think we will not do it's because that's really taking advantage of a situation and people will not forget if you do start it must've been hard when the 3rd wave started coughing through europe more curfews and lockdowns were announced hospitals were overrun and pfizer couldn't take advantage even though

it's sitting on the thing they say is the only way out of vaccine but no that would be an ass the cold the people will never forget turns out though pfizer doesn't really care about people it cares about fresh dollar bills so it hiked its prices after all vaccines are very expensive this if human lives below economies to reopen but we saw them at the price of a meal a very nice meal in a very nice restaurant after all fisons vaccine is the most expensive on the market and it can't start handing out discounts just because it's a once in a lifetime global pandemic some countries that who can't afford pfizer's prices still want the citizens to live for well that's fine we'll just produce it ourselves well no because pfizer and co are not. only lobbying the biden and mr h. and to stop and low cost vaccine production to help out low income countries they

even want those countries to be sanctioned ethics but even for those who do have the cash purchasing pfizer is beginning to break the bank pfizer was 12 years then became 15 new contracts are now being signed at a price of $19.00 to europe and with the e.u. signing off on a future order of 900000000 doses those extra euros really add up but as pfizer well knows the block doesn't really have a choice because brussels is fast pick astra zeneca has become vaccine non-grata after it's linked to red blood clots at this point it would probably struggle to hand out its vaccine for free let alone charge for it johnson and johnson's hit the pause button over the same concern and the european medicine agencies not keen on approving any of the shots at the moment so the pfizer job stands as the sole savior all 12 no 1519 and

a half years of it but if you don't count those 3 surprise a likely scenario is that there will be likely a need for somewhere between 6 and 12 months and then from the there will be an annual leave marks a nation but all of that needs to be confirmed a vaccine with 3 doses in the 1st year and a booster annually after that what a tiny little way to keep those billions coming in to hell with the corporation to hell with morality to hell with humanity you really have to hand it to pfizer even in a pandemic it's just another day another dollar. meanwhile the tiny european country of san marino is enjoying a return to pre-code normality thanks to sputnik v. schools museums and gyms have reopened as wilson of mars and theaters on april 26th as the enclave is not a formal member of the e.u. it was able to turn to russia for its vaccine sputnik v. is currently under review by europe's medicine and regulator meaning it cannot be

vaccine able to move our reopening timetable for would. guess. that the. russia has to class 20 chank diplomats persona non-grata in a rising diplomatic spat it's in response to prague expelling 18 russian representatives while accusing moscow of being behind a huge explosion at an ammunition death back in 24 save the russian foreign ministry says it's a knesset to distract attention from and the alleged coup attempt in by the verse. the accusations herb's surge especially as earlier the czech government laid the blame for the explosions at the door of the companies that. this hostile step is a continuation of

a series of russian actions conducted over the last several years by the czech republic one cannot also fail to notice the american influence by trying to win washington's favor as the u.s. imposes sanctions against russia the czech authorities have even outdone their american masters so many diplomats were forced to start packing their suitcases in recent days because of expulsions and counter expulsions 1st of all america ordered 10 russian diplomats to head back to russia moscow's response was then almost identical then poland announced a similar move but they're saying only targeted 3 people and then eventually we heard from the czech officials who announced that prague decided to expel 18 people working for the russian embassy that is even more than that then america originally chose to punish you understand that this is a very significant share of the embassy staff so you'd have to think that there

must be a very serious reason for it well the czech authorities have accused this group of 8 saying of working as intelligence operatives and also blamed russia for being behind a major explosion at an ammunitions military warehouse in the czech countryside that happened 7 years ago and killed 2 people no confirmation of the cause has ever been released by the czech authorities it coincides with the decisions on diplomat expulsions by washington and warsaw that's not all by the czech republic either is it private is seeking some suspects in particular well you know and that is the interesting part because the people the suspects that the checked. police are now looking for actually people with faces that you may find familiar these 2 were once accused by the way of trying to poison the script balls in the united kingdom

in 2018 so now when the authorities said that these 2 could be linked to that explosion immediately their names and photos were back and international headlines but the russian foreign ministry though is saying that these announcements and these steps that are taken by the czech authorities could only be a deliberate attempt to somehow distract the attention of the media and the international community from another story which is now in the news here in eastern europe it looks like when it's actually supported by facts that the west need it to cover up the importance of the information published by both russia and belarus about not just a conspiracy but an actual plan for a constitutional clue we need to speak about it so a coup was allegedly being planned against the leader of the roost what more do we

actually know about this this is a story apparently that was happening more or less taney as the russian federal security service has announced lately that they have detained 2 men one with russian citizenship another one with dual citizenship del reuss and the u.s. detention happened in moscow and these 2 are believed to have been plotting a coup in bella ruse by attempting to assassinate the ball russian president alexander lukashenko and possibly even members of his family during victory day celebrations that are upcoming the bell russian president almost instantly blamed the u.s. for it for orchestrating this attempt but washington has denied any involvement now. you may wonder what does frog have to do with all this but we have to understand that the czech republic is a close u.s. ally in eastern europe it's a member of nato not with

a central role but still and russian officials very often have blamed washington for using some eastern european countries the czech republic in particular asked puppets of the assumption by the russian foreign ministry is that washington could be pressuring these countries into making political moves against russia to demonize it so that is the message coming out of moscow in the meantime the u.s. state department has already said that they are expressing full support for the move that's been made by prague. with the situation increasingly tense experts think further demonization of russia is the goal. this story in the czech republic is ludicrous i mean 767 years ago russian agents and by the way they must be changed bombs because russian change spawns because there were you

know in seoul spring 2800 there were in prague in 20140022 so discordant. make an explosion that's completely ludicrous sentence but once that you know it will be a food very soon this story about the munition depo of the czech army which is not the 1st in nato it's a small army and it's not new clear or dead poles new you know it's just a mission they exploded this sounds like demonizing russia you know as much as they can now. as requested by biden's white house that has expelled 10 russian diplomats one of the interesting aspects the story of 2 alleged russian agents for who or what became public at the time the script of boys' names in britain were people who thought the church would do instant we're going to rush in

2100 so it's very all this information the subject we decided was already known we were to service and 2 years ago when you know come sort and so there's an element. which is ours or should behind it. as us states grapple to change voting laws following donald trump's claims of electoral fraud biden's sanctions russia claiming it's yet again it falls for american elections but that story and more coming up after this so break. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person of those.

who dares thinks. we dare to ask. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy the infantry shouldn't let it be an arms race is on often scary dramatic developments only really going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

a glimpse into just how big a thorn in america's side cuba was and even remains to this day clearly the carriage drew regime. will not change by its own choice. but cuba must change. i don't care how i die but rest assured if they invade us i will die in combat. you don't make friends with uncle sam by overthrowing a dictatorship ruled by his appointee or by building a socialist state right in his backyard for del castro did both his relations with the us started with a trade war escalated into a naval blockade of the island and climaxed with something that had the world staring into the abyss over nuclear apocalypse during the cuban missile crisis and island nation smaller than the size of florida found itself squeezed between 2

superpowers in the thick of what almost became an all out atomic war it shall be the policy of this nation to regard any nuclear missile launched from cuba or against any nation in the western hemisphere present attack by the soviet union on the united states things eased a little since then of course the us is a very different country the soviet union hasn't existed for nearly 3 decades but cuba cuba remains the same along with its ever so poor relations with the us we will not live saying actions on the cuban regime we will enforce the embargo. we reaffirmed today that any strategy that seeks to destroy the revolution either through coercion and pressure or by using subtle methods you will feel. the troika of tyranny in this hemisphere cuba venezuela and nicaragua has finally met its

match with joe the secretary of the united states is deliberately lying by calling cuba a sponsor of terrorism this is slander and an insult against cuba cuba is no closer to freedom and democracy than it was 4 years ago the age of castro is coming to an end but is the anticapitalist cuba heading the same way well raul castro says over his dead body. and nothing nothing obliges me to make this decision but i firmly believe in the strength and value of example and the understanding of my fellow countrymen and let no one down there as long as i live i will be ready with my food in the stirrup to defend the homeland the revolution and socialist it will be you that the only really. 3 arab israeli men have been arrested and officers injured as fireworks and rocks

were held at israeli police separate rival demonstrations over the assault of a rabbi the religious leader was assaulted as he entered a traditionally our part of the city of just a line as jews rallied against the violence sparking a counter protest of arab israelis who lit street fires and attacked law enforcement officials who had formed a human barrier between the demonstrations there comes the jewish population of israel hits all time lows they now make up less than 3 quarters of the country down 8 percent when it was founded in 1948 the proportion of jewish immigrants is also at an historic low we asked people on the streets of tel aviv why they thought that was the case. government in the country doesn't cheaters citizen good lean fairly enough it's really expensive to leave it's really hard to grow and to create new businesses and actually to succeed i think it's easier to do it in different

countries it is very simple the natural growth of the non jewish population was the higher rate of the jewish one that's just simple math count the number of children per jewish family count the number of children jewish family you add the numbers they are citizens of israel and it doesn't matter how many jewish or non jewish that's it the head of the israeli immigration policy center told r.t. why the demographic changes are happening but the main reason for the decline of the jewish population is due to immigration israel has developed its g.d.p. is much higher than the countries around there are around the area many people in the past did not see israel as a place that they want to immigrate to today we're seeing people from over a 100 different countries wanting to come to israel. and that has bring into a decline in the jewish population we are seeing the decline of the majority which may bring in the future for a situation where the much of the growing minorities will demand to change the

status of israel as a jewish state even if we don't reach a situation with the jews or absolute minority and that can have of course forages implications for a country that see themselves as a homeland for the jewish people. michigan's the latest us state they will debate changing election laws after the disastrous accusations of fraud in last year's presidential election but as artie's martin county of explains the white house is sanctioning russia as if it's to blame. round and round we go another election now the scandal scandals least of which had nothing to do with russia but again and it's well schools fault more sanctions more accusations and more changing the subject during a campaign for the for the presidency i was unequivocal that if i was elected president i respond to any attempt to influence our elections to the last election

and because elections are sacred or sovereign undertakings their expression of the world the american people and we cannot allow foreign power to interfere in our democratic process with impunity there is a sense that american elections attending almost into are need just undertaking sacred only a divine affair where the free and the faithful the right in the streets to cost their god given ballot in the name of all that is good and america but all is not well in the land of the free there is a crisis of faith where as many as 40 percent of american citizens but leave the last election was rigged a. mark .

of. presidential elections all of the united states are a broken outdated mess the system itself it's soo broken that in any other country they'd be calling it election fraud it isn't sacred when some people's votes count law than the votes of others depending on where they live there is nothing holy about people's votes being. rounded up or rounded down by delegates it's an old ugly mess that frankly should have been obviated some time ago the electoral college is just the tip of the iceberg and malin votes in 2020 were all over the place hundreds of thousands of votes lost and miscounted threw away were covered and recounted and about a 3rd of all the state's voters didn't even need to show their id to vote and this

isn't a country with roughly 12000000 illegal immigrants speaking of millions means of americans with a criminal boss even of they've served this sentence and not allowed to vote none of this counts of fraud because see it's negro even mistakes of kosher or high load by the blessid constitution the validity of an election is not voided by honest mistakes or emissions unless they affect the result or at least render it uncertain but hey america will all its talk of democratic processes never was a democracy it's a federal republic where corporations and billionaires can how mother into debt and the airwaves and the radio waves with billions of dollars worth of propaganda unabashed republican or democrat propaganda blasted at you from every side from a cab ride to new york to a country fair in iowa vote team red vote blue and best of luck

if you're running as an independent america hasn't elected an independent president in a 170 years we face tremendous mainstream media and shout out we know this is a 2 party system so the greatest difficulty is just making sure that people know we hear without the law that we only have these 2 options and i believe that's really at the weak to keep us coloring behind party lines at the end of the day russia doesn't need to interfere to make them. yes of american elections all it has to do is sit back and watch the show unfold but america america needs russia to interfere they'd needs to blame someone else for this mess it needs a scapegoat to beat all of it on and avoid having to say hold on we have a problem so they make up more nonsense about sacred elections and blasphemous
